Liz Constable
A book artist who writes.
It all started when I was introduced to a handmade book in 1999.
A light within me lit up like a lighthouse and it hasn't faded since.
I love creating books for all occasions, birthdays, just because, weddings, memories, new babies.
In 2015 I went on an epic journey and attended the Frankfurt Book Fair, as an exhibitor (one of 7,000), taking my first published book One Small Drop to showcase to the world, along with a collection of handmade books.
At the fair, I was offered a publishing contract to write a book on, making books with Austrian Publishing house Freya Verlag. A year later, DIY Notizbuchlein was published!
Then a year after that, DIY Notebooks Made Easy was published by Little Island Press in New Zealand.
I love books, and I've worked really, really hard to bring them into the world.
I have so many more to produce and create, just watch this space.

Arts in the MediaJoshua Prendeville: Building an Audience on Boosted
Accomplished Filmmaker Joshua Prendeville first came to Boosted in order to help with funding his 2024 Film 'The House Within,' documenting the life and work of 2026 Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellow Dame Fiona Kidman. Since then he has gone on to direct an adaptation of Katherine Mansfield's 'The Garden Party,' that was also funded in part through Boosted. His latest project is 'Earthly Shadows,' a short film adaptation of the award-winning story by Fiona Kidman. For Joshua, Boosted has become a more than just a funding avenue, it's a way to bring his audience onboard at the start of a film's journey and bring that crowd along with him. Joshua was kind enough to share with us his experiences and lessons learned from growing his audience on Boosted, and how he aims to bring them on a journey with his latest project, 'Earthly Shadows.'18 May 2026
